Reva Revs Up

General Motors and India’s Reva Electric Car have announced a collaboration to develop a battery powered car for the Indian market based on GM’s mini-car Spark.

The new car will be manufactured at GM’s India plant with Reva’s battery, electric drive train and power management systems.

Reva currently produces the G-Wiz electric vehicle, which is classified as a quadricycle in the U.K. where it retails for about $12,000.

With 3,000 electric cars on the road, Reva is a leader in the nascent electric car market. The Syracuse Post Standard reported that Reva is contemplating setting up a manufacturing plant in Onondaga County near Syracuse to build its three-door Reva NXR model for the U.S. market.
